1: After the EMPs
About This Book
The EMPs knock out America's cities in seconds... but her arteries, the highways, take a little longer.
Joey inherits a profitable trucking company from his retiring uncle. At 35, after a life driving wreckers and tow-trucks, struggling through night schools, and working toward his dreams — he finally has everything.
He hops in his classic Mustang, points it west, and savors the freedom of the open road…
When he finally comes to a stop, it isn't because he reached a destination. Every car, truck, big rig, and tour bus rolls to a halt with him. Phones are dead. Planes are falling from the sky.
He knows what caused it. He knows what it means for his safety. He also knows he has the only working vehicle in the traffic jam.
Suddenly, the same highways that gave him freedom now have him trapped. To get home, he'll have to cut through a thousand miles of bad road.
This is the first book in a new EMP collapse series set in EE Isherwood's Neighborhood Watch universe. This series takes place at the same time, but in different locations — and the characters will eventually cross paths.
What Readers Are Saying
Great start to a new series
Zombies Rock · April 29, 2024 · Amazon Review
“I really enjoyed this first book in the After the EMPs series. I fell in love with all of the Clownfish Cove characters and was looking forward to this new book. Now I'm hooked on following Joey, Herb, Kamino and the rest of the cast of characters in this series to see how they survive this high jacking of America and rebuild their lives.”

“A great start to a fast-moving post-apocalyptic series. Likable and relatable characters of all ages and backgrounds. I was sorry to see this part of the ride end.”
